My name is Lisa Pearsall. I am 29 years old and I have three children. I am currently a nursing student and work as a Home Health Aide. I became a caregiver in 2006 because I wanted to help improve the quality of care given to individuals in need. I enjoy being a caregiver because I know that I make a difference. I encourage my clients to do their very best and acknowledge them when they do even the simplest things for their selves. A personal achievement of mine as a CNA would have to be that I caught a severe problem that a client of mine had, just by observation. I noticed her skin was a slight yellow and her blood pressure wasn't bad but wasn't her norm either. I contact my supervisor, which then contacted her daughter. She was taken to the hospital and they found out she had pancreatic cancer. The doctors told her if she hadn't went she wouldn't of made it through the night. She ended up living another 2 weeks. He family contacted me and were so grateful that I seen the signs of change in her. They said hat because of me, they were able to have 2 more weeks with her.
